...draft boards are eager to put off deciding a CO claim as long as possible. In fact, a sophomore with a II-S who wrote his board a letter declaring his conscientious objection and requesting a Form 150 to file was told that he didn't have to fill out the form until he lost his deferment. However, draft counselors advise that it is best to file Form 150 as early as possible as evidence of sincerity. The closer a claim comes to the time of possible induction, the more suspicious a board is liable...
...character, called "She," at odds with and seemingly at the mercy of a heartless and mindless society, represented by choruses next to the stage and at the sides of the house. The hostility of the chorus was evident from the moment its opening hisses, murmurs, and shouts began to fill the darkened theatre, while both Her helplessness and humanness came through largely from Miss Mandac's presence on stage. She turned in a superb performance, as she passed from a small chair to a prison cell, a drab bedroom and, finally, a huge bare, rehearsal stage, she movingly conveyed everything...
...Mary, Scotland-born and Chicago-reared, was an impoverished young soprano who haunted rehearsals at the Comique. Her moment came when, during a performance of Gustave Charpentier's Louise, the lead soprano suddenly collapsed after the second act. Panic-stricken, the director asked Mary if she could fill in.

Journey was a semiautobiographical story of a doctor, known in the book as Ferdinand Bardamu. "I have spent so many years as a doormat in the service of so many thousands of madmen that my memories alone would fill a whole insane asylum," Céline said. The novel was such an asylum. It seemed less a novel than a charade by a troupe of epileptics-convulsed by spasms of lust, rage, fear and disgust but denied the unconsciousness that is the mercy accorded the epileptic. It was clear to most critics that it was a work of genius...
...group of Douglas engineers. Lack of money stalled them until Williams, another Douglas alumnus and the owner of Hydroforming, an aircraft-parts-making company, bought a controlling interest in Hayden in 1958. Williams was sure that "an updated version of the Tri-Motor was just the plane to fill the gaps" left in workaday air transport by the emphasis on faster jet aircraft. Williams ultimately absorbed the project into his own company and hatched the first Bushmaster 2000 in 1966. In November, the son of the Tin Goose made its first flight...
